Chapter 252: Did you submit it

Laimei clicked his tongue, thinking to himself, what do you know.

He clicked his tongue. "My head is injured, my legs aren't, it doesn't affect going out for a stroll, staying cooped up at home will make me sick."

This latter sentence had quite the Gu Mu style.

She said Gu Qingzhou said exactly that.

Hengbao pointed at his Laimei brother, as if catching some handle, laughing softly: "Laimei brother, you're learning from our Grandma."

"So what, can't I learn?" Laimei hummed. "You also learn, you not only learn from Grandma, you also learn from Grandpa, learning how he speaks, learning how he walks."

"I just learn, I just learn." Hengbao made a face.

Laimei: "..." Childish ghost.

Yubao smoothed things over. "Wait until my mommy buys the soccer ball, we'll play together, as long as the weather is good, we can play."

Tiedan said excitedly: "We can play at the threshing floor, it's big there, we can kick however we want."

"Good." Yubao accepted happily.

Seeing Lin Zhao leading the younger brother and sister home, he pulled Hengbao, urging: "Hengbao, let's go home quickly, if Yaobao makes a scene, we still have to help Mommy suppress her."

Laimei pfft-ed.

Still suppress.

What does he think Yaobao is?

Li Bao said urgently: "I'll help too."

Hengbao said loudly: "Let's go."

Pulling Li Bao, he ran home with a *deng-deng-deng*.

Before entering the house, the loud voice came in first.

"Mommy, Mommy..."

Lin Zhao's voice sounded in the children's room. "In your room."

The twins and Li Bao walked in.

"Mommy, do you need our help?" Yubao asked on behalf of them.

"You read storybooks to Seeing Qian Bao, don't let him stare at the book, I'm worried that if he stares at the book too much, it's not good for his vision."

Her father said, Seeing Qian Bao followed his biological father, which was her grandfather, this one had his nose in books since he was small, knowing astronomy above and geography below, saying he was learned in five vehicles wasn't an exaggeration at all.

Yubao saluted, his expression serious. "Received, I will watch Seeing Qian Bao."

Seeing Qian Bao's baby-fat face popped up with a little question mark. "?"

"Me?" Short, small fingers pointed at his own little nose tip.

The little guy's eyebrows were serious. "I'm obedient."

That appearance had a kind of unaware cuteness.

Lin Zhao hugged the little dumpling, a burst of rarity, kissing little Seeing Qian Bao's white and tender cheeks until they were red.

"Mommy?"

His hand rested on Lin Zhao's shoulder, wanting to push but not pushing, his little expression very conflicted.

"Our Seeing Qian Bao is truly cute." Lin Zhao's tone was light, her eyes and brows full of smiles.

After rare-ing the son, letting the few cubs stay obediently, she went to the old house.

Gu Mu heard Lin Zhao's intention and immediately expressed: "I'll take the four cubs? Sure, no problem, you just send the children over, you work well, I'll take the children."

After the family split, she didn't have many things, she could take the grandsons and granddaughters, she was very okay with it.

People who couldn't be idle were like this.

Lin Zhao knew her mother-in-law wouldn't refuse, having a mother-in-law with a good temper was just saving trouble.

She put down the things she brought. "Mom, this is Yubao and Hengbao's rations, you look and make it for them, these things are only more, not less, when you make it, make it for you and Dad too, saving trouble, if it's gone, tell me, I'll get more."

Gu Fu and Gu Mu had several sons, if she didn't even give rations and put the children in the old house, the eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law wouldn't make a scene, but they would definitely feel uncomfortable in their hearts.

The family didn't lack this bit of rations, no need to cause extra trouble.

At this moment, Zhao Liuniang was also at home, she heard a bit, and interjected: "That... Bangbang and Laimei are also on winter vacation, they have nothing to do, they can also help take the younger brother, as for Yaobao, if Mom has something to do, give her to me, I'll let her play with Yu Yu, the little sisters are quite obedient together, I'm driving one sheep, it's also driving a group of sheep."

There were four cubs, Gu Mu always had times when she dozed off.

Going to the bathroom or something, someone always had to watch.

Zhao Liuniang was still very willing to lend a hand.

A family didn't have so many calculations.

Hearing her sister-in-law take the initiative to mention it, Lin Zhao smiled: "Alright, then thank you Gu Gu Ersao."

Zhao Liuniang waved her hand and went to the kitchen to cook.

Gu Mu opened the things Third Daughter-in-law brought, there was meat, tofu, rice and flour, yellow oil, taking a look, there must be three jin, right?

All good things!

The landlord of the past couldn't eat this well!!

Third Daughter-in-law was becoming more and more attentive to the four cubs.

Grandma felt the pain of the meat, but it also showed on her face, but she didn't nag with her mouth.

Their own third son and his wife were working, taking wages, why, just for the family.

What's wrong with eating something good?

No problem.

After completing self-strategy, Gu Mu hurriedly closed the lid and said: "Rest assured, they won't be hungry."

"I'm assured with Mom handling things." Lin Zhao said.

These words made people comfortable, Gu Mu happily went back to the room to put things away.

Laimei also returned home, currently scraping potato skins in the yard, his head wrapped in a circle of gauze.

Lin Zhao didn't rush to leave, caring a few sentences. "How is Laimei's head?"

Suddenly thinking of Alan, she also injured her head a few months ago, truly a difficult sister and brother.

Laimei looked up, his hands not stopping. "It's fine."

The boy was naughty, after a few days, his spirit recovered, and he had the heart to joke. "Don't look at me bleeding a lot, I made up for it on the first day, thank you Third Aunt for the big chicken leg."

Speaking of what he ate the day he was injured.

"Don't thank me, it was Yubao and Hengbao who took the initiative to bring it up." Lin Zhao smiled. "They said you were injured, you had to eat something good, willing to give you the chicken leg."

Her sons were truly great, even overcoming the instinct to crave meat, what couldn't they succeed in in the future!

Laimei was moved.

Truly his good younger brothers, even willing to give him a chicken leg, if it were himself, he might still hesitate.

There was some guilt in his heart, causing Laimei to feel guilty and not dare to look at his Third Aunt.

He said: "Third Aunt, you rest assured putting them in the village, my brother and I will take them, guaranteeing no one will move a hair of theirs."

Lin Zhao: "... Thank you for your hard work, wait until I'm busy, I'll treat you to something good."

Laimei immediately had spirit. "Good."

That night.

Lin Zhao slept in the same room with the children, after the sun went down, the temperature outside dropped sharply, cold to the point of not being able to go out.

The room was very warm, because the quilts were all filled with new cotton, and there was the smell of the sun, very soft and warm.

"So comfortable." Hengbao rolled on the bed.

Yubao saw his younger brother mess up the bed sheet and smoothed it with his hand.

Lin Zhao rubbed his head.

"Hengbao, stop rolling, lie down properly, close your eyes, I'm going to start telling."

Hengbao lay down obediently, not forgetting to cover the younger brother and sister with a small quilt before lying down.

The four cubs lay in a row, identical dark eyes looking at Lin Zhao.

Before long, gentle words sounded slowly.

In the dog house under the eaves, Seeing Da Huang moved its ears, circled the chubby Hu Po, and closed its eyes.

The end of the year was indeed busy at the supply and marketing cooperative, the morning work time didn't change, but in the afternoon, they couldn't get off work on time every time.

No way, they only pass the New Year once a year, adults and children are looking forward to it, so they have to seize the time to purchase things.

Many things were just brought, not even displayed, and were snatched away.

This supply and marketing cooperative served the whole commune, so many factories around, countless people, it wasn't strange to be busy at the end of the year.

A few days ago, Lin Zhao still rode her bike back to the village every day, didn't persist for a few days, told Gu Mu, and lived in the county herself.

She lived by herself, didn't even have to cook, either eating at the state-run hotel, or going to her uncle's house to eat, tired and relaxed.

Tired because work was busy, relaxed because she didn't have to take the children.

Busy like this, the four cubs didn't see Mommy as much as before, all a bit unhappy.

With those older brothers and sisters in the old house accompanying them, it wasn't so hard to endure.

This day.

Ye Brigade Leader ran to the Gu family's old house.

"Yubao, where is your grandpa?" he asked the Gu family cubs playing in the yard.

Yubao pointed to the backyard. "Mushroom room."

After speaking, he lowered his head again.

Ye Brigade Leader walked hurriedly to the backyard, his loud voice full of excitement. "Old Gu, did your Third Daughter-in-law submit a manuscript to the newspaper office?!!"

Third Daughter-in-law?

Yubao's eyebrows moved. "Mommy?"

He stood up abruptly and ran to the backyard.

Hengbao hurriedly followed. "Brother, wait for me."

Li Bao also wanted to run, seeing Seeing Qian Bao and Yaobao, withdrew the action of preparing to run, and said: "Don't play first, go to the mushroom room."

The twins listened obediently.

Backyard.

Gu Fu walked out of the mushroom room, asking puzzledly: "What?! What submission?!! Who are you talking about?!!"

"Chenghuai's wife, Yubao's mother, Comrade Lin Zhao, did she submit a manuscript to the newspaper office?" Ye Brigade Leader repeated.

"... Haven't heard of it." Gu Fu was confused.

Seeing his grandson's figure, he asked Yubao: "Yubao, did your mother submit a manuscript?"

Ye Brigade Leader looked over with fiery eyes.

Yubao's expression was blank.

He shook his head.

"Don't know."

At this time, Seeing Qian Bao, who had just arrived in the backyard, suddenly said, "Submitted."

He was so small, what he said, adults naturally didn't quite believe.

Ye Brigade Leader still looked at Yubao. "Yubao, you really don't know? Haven't heard anything at all? Didn't your mother send a letter?"

"Send." Being stared at by the brigade leader, Yubao wasn't nervous, his demeanor was generous, and his reply was also generous. "Send to my dad."

Ye Brigade Leader's heart hung up and fell heavily again. "You brat, talking and panting!"

Yubao's little face was serious. "Everyone has to pant when they talk."

Ye Brigade Leader's old face was helpless, patting his head, not knowing what to say.

He gave the latest newspaper to Gu Fu, talking about the business he ran for.

"There is an article on this, talking about our brigade leader planting mushrooms, the signatory is Lin Zhao from our commune's supply and marketing cooperative, isn't this Chenghuai's wife

Gu Fu took the newspaper and scanned it in ten lines at a glance.

The article made his blood boil with excitement.

Something about a simple old farmer working day and night without rest to help the people fill their stomachs, researching mushroom cultivation methods... something about leading the entire brigade to prosperity, the hope of the brigade...

After browsing the entire article, Gu Fu raised his head, his face glowing with radiance.

"Yes, yes, it must be Chenghuai's wife."

He was so excited he became incoherent, saying: "I never heard her mention it."

Gu Fu was also desperate and grasping at straws, asking Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao: "Have you two heard about this? Has your mother ever submitted any articles to the newspaper office?"

In truth, deep down, he believed the person in the newspaper was indeed his third daughter-in-law, but without confirmation, he was always worried it might be a case of having the same name.

Gu Hangbao shook his head, "... I don't know."

The two of them were school-age cubs, not at home every day, and the brothers weren't very old, so even if they had seen it, they wouldn't know what the adults were doing.

Qian Bao's little eyebrows flew up, his small face solemn, and he emphasized again, "She submitted it."

His little tone was particularly firm.

Gu Fu smiled at his little grandson, his eyes full of affection, "How do you know?"

Qian Bao looked up at his grandfather, "Uncle asked."

Brigade Leader Ye still didn't take it seriously, only saying: "Old Gu, your grandson is quite articulate, he's not even two years old yet, right?"

Gu Fu's old face was full of pride, "Almost two. He is articulate, anyway, I've never seen anyone at such a young age... who speaks more fluently than my Qian Bao, he just doesn't like to talk much."

"..."

Brigade Leader Ye wanted to snatch his newspaper away; he didn't want to keep talking to someone who wouldn't stop showing off.

Unexpectedly, Gu Fu put his hands behind his back and dodged his arm.

"Leave this newspaper with me, I'll ask Old Third's wife if the name on it is her."

Brigade Leader Ye stared, "You let Yuanshan and Yucheng go buy one, why are you snatching my newspaper? I haven't finished reading it yet, hurry, hurry, give it back to me..."

"Not giving it back, aren't you going to the county today? Can't you get a newspaper in the county?" Gu Fu ignored him, told Xiang Yubao to take his younger brother and sister to play in the front yard, and turned to enter the mushroom room himself.

As he walked, he muttered, "It's just a newspaper, how stingy."

Brigade Leader Ye's expression changed.

He bristled with anger and said: "Old Gu, you come out and make things clear, how am I stingy!"

The person inside didn't make a sound.

Brigade Leader Ye left in anger.

Seeing this, Li Bao scratched his head, "Grandpa Brigade Leader is angry?"

Xiang Yubao's expression was solemn, "Obviously."

"... What should we do?" Gu Hangbao continued.

Qian Bao spread his little hands and said in that cute, lovely voice: "Adults' business, children shouldn't interfere."

"Qian Bao is really smart." Xiang Yubao took his younger brother and sister's hands and walked toward the front yard, "Let's go, I'll tell you a story in the front yard."

Qian Bao was full of energy, his eyes bright as stars.

Yao Bao shook her big brother's hand and suddenly said: "I want Mommy, Mommy..."

At the same time she called out for Mommy, she burst into tears, her crying sound extremely aggrieved.

Listening to her younger sister's crying, Xiang Yubao also felt a bit like crying.

He was the big brother and had to set a good example; he couldn't cry.

"Mommy is at work, she'll come home when she's finished..." Xiang Yubao coaxed his sister with great patience.

Yao Bao had heard these words many times and had long since stopped believing them; she was still sobbing. She seemed to know how to cry to make people feel more heartbroken, not making a sound, her thin voice hitching, tears the size of beans rolling down, and she cried until she looked like a little flower cat.

"Don't cry, you won't be pretty if you keep crying, Yao Bao, be good, Mommy will be back soon..." Xiang Yubao continued to coax.

Discovering that no matter how he coaxed it was useless, he was so anxious he was covered in sweat.

Just at this moment, a person appeared at the door.

"Who is bullying our Yao Bao, why is she crying so pitifully?" Lin Zhao's voice rang out.

She was wearing a light green sweater inside, a long black coat on the outside, and loose trousers on the bottom; her skin was fair, her face wore a smile, and she was so beautiful she made people's eyes light up.

"Mommy!" Xiang Yubao's eyes brightened, and he immediately forgot he was still coaxing his sister, rushed to the door, and hugged Lin Zhao's waist.

After hugging for a few seconds, he raised his head, his gaze expectant, "Mommy, are you on vacation?"

Lin Zhao rubbed the big cub's head, also letting out a sigh of relief, "Yes, I'm on vacation."

A week off in a row.

It wasn't easy, either.

While they were talking, the other three cubs also moved over.

Yao Bao wiped her tears, looking at her aggrievedly, not leaning in; her little mouth was pursed, and snot was about to flow down, only to be wiped away by Gu Hangbao with quick eyes and fast hands.
